My marriage took place a month and a half ago. Recently, I discovered that my wife and her family misled me and my family about her education. They claimed she was a good student and had finished her final year exams, but we’ve learned she has pending backlogs from earlier semesters. This feels like a betrayal of trust, and I’m considering divorce. Is this a valid reason to seek legal separation in India?

In India, concealing educational qualifications during marriage may not be a standalone ground for divorce. However, if this deception is proven to have significantly impacted your consent to marriage, it could be considered grounds for annulment or divorce under the grounds of fraud or misrepresentation. You should consult a lawyer to assess your specific situation and available legal options.
